- Validity: The 5 Fr. stamp, for example, was valid from July 1914 until the end of 1942.
- Paper: The search results mention the 5 Fr. stamp was printed on white paper with silver strands (filaments) which is a characteristic of some Swiss definitive issues of the era, also often featuring a watermark of multiple Swiss crosses.
